Rabbit anti-Human TFDP2 Polyclonal Antibody

Q14188

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TFDP2

Target Full Name

Transcription factor Dp-2

Target Function

Can stimulate E2F-dependent transcription. Binds DNA cooperatively with E2F family members through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3', found in the promoter region of a number of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or in DNA replication. The TFDP2:E2F complex functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase. The E2F1:DP complex appears to mediate both cell proliferation and apoptosis. Blocks adipocyte differentiation by repressing CEBPA binding to its target gene promoters.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

E2F/DP family

Target Tissue Specificity

High levels in heart and skeletal muscle. Also found in placenta, kidney, brain, lung and liver. The presence as well as the abundance of the different transcripts appear to vary significantly in different tissues and cell lines.

Target Synonyms

DP2; E2F dimerization partner 2; Tfdp2; TFDP2_HUMAN; Transcription factor Dp 2; Transcription factor Dp-2

Target Background

The gene is a member of the transcription factor DP family. The encoded protein forms heterodimers with the E2F transcription factors resulting in transcriptional activation of cell cycle regulated genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
